Media Reactions to Obama's Nobel speech
Edited on Thu Dec-10-09 02:59 PM by Dover
A smattering of responses from the usual suspects - Time, WP, etc. plus some more left-leaning sources like The Nation, DailyKos...as well as those leaning far right.

I wonder if Russia purposely timed their twice-delayed missile test seen over Norway to coincide with Obama's speech/trip to Norway?

3. If they did, all they demonstrated is that their missiles don't work.
That one blew a hole in its side and went into a spiral. Toothless old bear...

4. lol.....true enough. But it's still a reminder that the arms race is ongoing and that the
American recipient of the highest prize for dedication to accelerating peace is a far piece(peace) from the goal post. I'm sure the Russians just couldn't pass up the opportunity to 'illuminate' what I'm certain they (and other countries) feel is a farce and a chance to undermine one of the most globally popular presidents of all time.
